Digital bypass for the TQ-Robotics ramp-up brings transparency to the commissioning process

Excel or flying blind: Integrators have often only had a choice between two evils when ramping up digitalised systems. As long as the systems are not yet 100% connected, the necessary monitoring of machine performance can only be carried out on site with a lot of staff, or only with a time delay during operation. With the io-key, the automation specialists from TQ-Robotics set up a temporary digital bypass in order to be able to query important data during ramp-up.

In the critical phase shortly before, during and immediately after commissioning, valid data about the performance of a system is essential to detect possible weak points and sources of error in good time. Is the machine running? How much is being produced? Brief questions, long answers, if the path is via the customer's systems and the client's IT. Especially since not every company wants to make this data accessible.

Important data without diversions via the customer network

In these cases, TQ-Robotics uses the io-key and transmits the required information past the customer systems directly into the protected cloud environment. The approach is both pragmatic and effective. If, for example, an entire production line is involved, monitoring of the last unit in the chain is usually sufficient for the ramp-up phase. A single inductive sensor that records the number of units produced can provide the necessary data. Depending on the structural situation on site, installation of the set consisting of sensor and io-key and the initial data transmission take no more than half an hour. This saves a significant amount of time compared to conventional methods or time-consuming readjustments during operation.
